I love entertaining food videos. Mr. Okra (I got collard greens!) may be my all time favorite, but these guys make sausage making pretty entertaining. They are obsessed with making sausage and I am equally obsessed with eating sausage, so it’s a win-win. There’s something fascinatingly gross about watching someone working with the casing for...
How to Slice Meat Against the Grain
Ah, the delicious flank steak. This cut of steak comes from one of the toughest muscles on the cow, but it has some of the best flavor on the animal. Flank steaks are also great candidates for a long bath in a delicious marinade. Marinade them in some lime, garlic, cilantro and...
Hot Dogs, Terror Level Orange!
Hot Dog lobbyist? I didn’t know there was such a thing and now I think that’s the best use of a Law degree that I have ever heard. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council is a Washington-based firm that lobbies on behalf of the wiener industry. You may not have thought...
Quick Guide to Spices
My goal this year is to experiment a lot more with flavors I haven’t really used in recipes. I feel like I am kind of in a rut and tend to stick with the flavors I am most comfortable with. We’ll see if my little experiment results in a coup attempt in my family at...
iPhone Meat Stylus Now, Delicious Snack Later
Ever had the urge to eat your gadgets? Maybe out of frustration or pure hunger? Well now you can eat a part of your gadget collection.

I got a voice mail from my Buddy Kenny the other day saying he found a deal for me at Tuesday Morning. “Hmm”, I thought, “didn’t know I was in the market for a new silk flower arrangement”. I was intrigued more to find out what Kenny was doing in that store than...

Grilling Companion interview of Chef Paul Peterson from the show BBQ Pitmasters. Plus one of Chef Paul's awesome rib...
BBQ Pitmasters Season Finale Preview
Tonight is the season finale of BBQ Pitmasters (10PM EST, TLC). I love the format of this episode. We get to watch the Pitmasters as they watch the judges critique their barbeque. I’m sure the guy that worked the bleep button for this episode needed physical therapy once they were done editing: Tune in tonight to...
Mr. Okra
This video pretty much made my day. I love this kind of documentary. Mr. Okra pretty much sums up the foundation for good food: “Ain’t no use in cookin’ if you ain’t gonna cook with fresh food…cause you can taste the difference, if you know anything about food.” “You gotta put somethin in it so you can...
BBQ Pitmasters, Tuffy’s Generosity
Preview videos are up for this week’s BBQ Pitmasters (Thursday, 10PM EST on TLC). Looks like Tuffy helps Myron out this week by giving him a premium wagyu brisket for the competition. Would Myron do the same? Hell @#*& no says Myron. We’ll have to watch this week if Tuffy’s generous nature puts him out...
